Teaching Associate: Patrick Mooney
Bldg. 494, room 160B
Spring 2016

• Admin things?
  • Or interpretive problems with Sanctuary?
• Opening journal write (7–10 minutes): What position does Sanctuary take on womanhood?
• Other points for discussion:
  • Then I said That wont do. I ought to be a man. So was an old man, with a long white beard [...] took me down to the crib. (220; ch. 23)
  • He gave her the glass. She drank. [...] holding the empty bottle over the glass. (237; ch. 24)
  • The drunken funeral misunderstanding: 246–47; ch. 25
• On The Big Shot, if desired:
  • How does this represent Popeye differently than the novel?
  • You'll see represented here a situation that didn't make it into the novel, but will be reflected again later in the quarter several times: the traumatic moment when Thomas Sutpen/Flem Snopes realize how much there is to want.
